Thanks, Lara. I forgot to add that the acorn is not big enough to cause a concussion, but they do hurt the scalp. Wearing a hat is enough to block that. There is a little point on the tip of the acorn, and that is what hurts, IMO.
You can also step on them and roll around and maybe fall depending on your balance. But where we live, the squirrels remove them pretty quickly.
The leaves are pretty thick and slippery too when wet. We find the clean up of them is more difficult than with other trees.
